87. I did read the article.

But these conversations inevitably come down to what the woman should do to avoid rape.

If there were actually concentrated efforts by society as a whole to fight rape culture, I would change my tune in a second.

Instead, we objectify women and call it marketing. We tie men's self-worth to how sexually active they are and reward them for landing a hot piece of tail, and consequently tie women's self-worth to how well they can be that hot piece and shame them for taking control of their own bodies.

Enabling rape gets you laughs, promotions, and high fives. Not being able to wear what you want, associate with who you want, and safely walk to the store at night gets you these stupid questions about what you were wearing, were you carrying mace, why did you go out alone.

We don't glorify or encourage murder and theft and subsequently shame the victims of these crimes. We glorify and encourage rape, though.
